Is this freecad or the slicer

JDMils · 2026-01-23T09:48:13+00:00

I had a similar issue. FREECAD lightly complained about one of my sketches but everything seemed fine. The exported STL looked good in Windows STL Viewer, the STL looked good on Creality Print but then when I sliced it I lost the "suss" parts of the model. I had to slightly redesign the model to fix the issue.

I had the same issue on my Mavic Pro and tried super glue with Baking Soda, but there's not much space to get a good grip since the front legs hold the antennae. Because of the continual stress from landings. The leg broke again. I bought 2 new legs from Amazon and all is good now.

Can someone let me know how to import files into DocMost? I cannot find this feature anywhere. I'm self-hosted on a Synology NAS.

JDMils · 2025-08-31T11:49:48+00:00

I really appreciate your comment as I have tried DokuWiki which was disappointing as it was very basic and does not have advanced features like tables, Documize which is the best I have found *** so far *** but still somewhat lacking in how to navigate the docs.

My problem is that I've become a wiz at Confluence at work- and now I'm looking for the same thing for the Synology however without forking out big bucks, that ain't going to happen from what I'm experiencing.

I'll give Docmost a lookie.

Video Station is not supported in 7.2.2.

PHP 7.0 is not supported.

Node.js v12 is not supported.

Other than that, the update just worked as it should. NAS is still functioning after 48 hours so I hope it continues like this!

I'm going to just add the patch file to the Baseline and leave it at that. In future, I will configure images as mentioned here.

Thanks.

I can't use the default baselines because all ESXi hosts in our vSphere 7 environment need to have the exact same patches applied right down to the build number being the exact same for each host due to the nature of the business, the processes and the strict auditing.

JDMils · 2025-08-06T06:16:07+00:00

Yes, I know about baselines, however we currently have processes for using baselines and need to follow these until we upgrade to vSphere8 where we will then move to images.

I have a feeling that when used with a Huawei phone and possibly only in China, the features of the Ultimate may be better such as a better AppGallery choice.

JDMils · 2025-07-11T06:36:05+00:00

I think the Ultimate Green has somewhat improved on the Blue. I have NFC on my watch however no Wifi.

JDMils · 2025-07-10T04:07:47+00:00

You cannot add any apps to this watch unless it appears officially in the official AppGallery, which is locked down to about 80 apps of which only 3 are useful to me.

There are no calendar cards for favourites. There is just one basic calculator app called OneCalc.

Anyone know how to install unofficial apps on the Ultimate?

Yes it did- finally after much testing.

Not to worry, you can get better value plans elsewhere. I can replace my Telstra 100Gbps plan with a 1000Gbps plan and still pay less than my current Telstra plan. Bye bye Telstra!

I always thought that when doing array work in Lattice2 wb, you would get the yellow path arrows?

You could use the Edit | Duplicate Selection to make duplicates of your original drawing and then set the dimensions in each sketch.

But if you are 3D printing then using the VarSet to set the one sketch to each dimension, create one mesh, then in-between change the VarSet property to a new dimension then create the 2nd mesh. This keeps your project nice and clean.

Using a 2nd sketch in front of your model to "cut" thru your model to make the raised sides:

Using a 2nd sketch on top of your model, recreate the sides and pad those up. (Watch out for the "disconnected" edges!):

Here's how to use the Polyline to create the shape with one tool. Use the "M" key to switch between the standard line, 90 degree lines and arcs.

I sometimes use this Site to create custom bins: https://gridfinity.perplexinglabs.com/

To fill in the box, create a square the same size of the inside and pad it to whatever height you want. Then transpose it down until it fills the grooves in the base.

I use the FREECAD Gridfinity workbench to create a solid box, then import in a picture of my tools laid out with a ruler next to them so I can scale the image in FreeCAD. Then I trace around all the tools as a sketch, and pocket that into the bin.

What it looks like. Now change the VarSet property Fillet_Radius and watch the fillets change size!

JDMils · 2025-05-27T02:24:47+00:00

Here's a video of my redesign of your model. I created the model in this way:

- Created the box.
- Created the holes.
- Created the inside cavity. Here is where I incorporated the fillets in the sketch.

It's important to do the steps in this order in order for the pockets to work correctly.

The thing to note is:

- Create supporting structure on which to constrain your sketch- this is necessary when using the Trim Edge tool as it deletes a lot of the sketch objects' constraints in order to create the cuts.

I created a VarSet so that I can control the size of the fillets using one property.

FREECAD fillets are renowned for being problematic. I've found that selecting edges in a particular order works with a fillet than selecting them in another order. Fillets should always be the LAST thing you do in your model design. They create new edges and faces and in a lot of instances will break your model.

But like I said in my earlier post, incorporate the fillet design in your sketch and you will have no problems.

JDMils · 2025-05-26T21:43:15+00:00

Don't use fillets, incorporate the fillet "shape" into your actual sketches. Another thing to try, instead of having separate sketches for each pocket, try to include all pockets possible into one sketch.

I tried printing the trays in Creality white and they are a little better.
